Ayurvedic Treatment for Skin Psoriasis

If you’ve been putting up with psoriasis, you know how tough it can be; itchy, scaly patches, redness, the discomfort that won’t quit. While topical creams and medications provide temporary relief, modern medicine does not address the underlying cause. The good news? Herbal remedies for psoriasis can provide an enduring approach to psoriasis management by concentrating on detoxification, internal recovery, and harmonizing the body’s dosha.

Karma Ayurveda believes that clear skin emanates from balance within both the Body and Mind. We aim to help people manage psoriasis naturally through personalized Ayurvedic treatments so they can have the confidence to embrace their skin. It’s important to understand psoriasis better and look for lasting relief with Ayurveda.

What is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disorder that appears as an overgrowth of skin cells. This causes thick, scaly patches and these patches can cause itchiness, pain, inflammation, etc., and can severely impact a person’s quality of life. Psoriasis isn’t-contagious, but it can be triggered by things including:

• Stress: Psychosocial stress can cause psoriasis flares.
• Infections: Viral and bacterial infections have been known to aggravate symptoms.
• Weather Conditions: Cold, dry climatic conditions dry out the skin, leading to aggravated symptoms.
• Diet and Lifestyle: Diet, alcohol consumption, and a sedentary lifestyle may contribute to the higher frequency of flare-ups.

Types of Psoriasis

• Plaque Psoriasis: Characterized by small raised bumps and patches of inflamed skin.
• Guttate Psoriasis: Small, red spots that tend to develop on the arms, legs, and torso.
• Inverse Psoriasis: Bright red, shiny patches in skin folds, for example, under the breasts or around the groin.
• Pustular Psoriasis: White pustules (blisters containing pus) surrounded by red skin.
• Erythrodermic Psoriasis: A more severe form of psoriasis; skin becomes red and you often experience skin shedding.

Conventional Treatments: Pros and Cons

Traditional psoriasis treatments aim to control the symptoms using:

Topical Corticosteroids: To soothe inflammation and itching.

These include systemic oral medications and immunosuppressants that modulate the immune system.

Benefits:

• Some offer symptom relief for a short time.
• May help reduce inflammation and slow the growth of skin cells.

Challenges:

• Long-term use can cause skin thinning and other side effects.
• Doesn't touch the issue and will relapse.
• Drugs may have an immunosuppressive effect, leaving patients more vulnerable to infection.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Skin Psoriasis

Psoriasis is classified under “Kushtha Rogas” (skin disorders) in Ayurveda and is usually associated with an imbalance of the Vata and Kapha doshas in the body, as well as the accumulation of toxins (ama) in the body. Those with metabolic syndromes develop inflammatory disorders like psoriasis because of their toxicity.

Best Ayurvedic Therapies for Psoriasis

Ayurvedic Skin Psoriasis treatment has the following aspects:

• Panchakarma Therapy: Panchakarma is aimed at detoxifying the body with specific therapies. Some of the best Panchakarma therapies for psoriasis are:
• Vamana (therapeutic vomiting): Helps remove toxins from the upper GI tract and eliminates excess Kapha.
• Virechana (Purgation Therapy): Balances Pitta and detoxifies the liver.
• Basti (Medicated Enema): This therapy nourishes and detoxifies the colon and helps balance the Vata dosha.
• Takradhara: In this process, medicated buttermilk is poured over the forehead of the patient to reduce stress. This, eventually, can help alleviate the symptoms.

Panchakarma detoxifies the body and boosts immunity which prevents the recurrence of psoriasis.

Ayurvedic Medicines for Skin Psoriasis

Ayurvedic herbs for psoriasis also help in balancing Kapha, tidying the blood, reducing inflammation, and regenerating the skin. Among the most potent herbs are:

• Neem (Azadirachta Indica): A powerful Ayurvedic medicine for psoriasis that cleanses the blood and removes toxins.
• Turmeric (Curcuma Longa): Powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that ease skin inflammation. Turmeric is an excellent Ayurvedic skin psoriasis medicine.
• Aloe Vera: Helps to cool down irritated skin and aids healing.
• Manjistha (Rubia Cordifolia): Blood purifier and skin promoter
• Haritaki (Terminalia Chebula): Aids digestion and eliminates toxins responsible for skin disorders

These herbs not only help to control symptoms but also boost the immune system, preventing future flare-ups.
